February 25, 2010 By
The Startup Success Podcast

The Startup Success Podcast

A very special interview with author and marketing authority Seth Godin on how startups can succeed in a world where fitting in doesn’t work anymore. Seth is the author of a dozen bestselling books including Purple Cow, Tribes, Permission Marketing and most recently and perhaps most importantly, Linchpin.

In this interview Bob and Pat have the opportunity to ask Seth how Linchpin applies to startups, the IT industry, what art means to developers, what keeps you from shipping, what Ayn Rand would say and succeeding in this post-industrial world. And, we get to several of the questions you asked us to ask.

If you listen to just one of our podcasts this year, this is the one.

Show #53 Ben Hatten, Legal River, changes the game for Startups.

January 27, 2010 By
The Startup Success Podcast

The Startup Success Podcast

Bob and Pat talk with Ben Hatten, co-founder of Legal River, a startup creating a marketplace where attorneys bid for your startup’s business. Proper lawyering, like proper plumbing, makes sure bad stuff doesn’t flood your startup. But finding the right attorney who understands IT and startup issues is hard outside of Silicon Valley and impossibly expensive if you deal with a large Silicon Valley law firm. Legal River turns this situation on its head and in your favor.

Also this week we have our first listener comment – Corey Maass founder of DubFiler shares a good tip with all of us. Why not call in your feedback and get your startup mentioned here? Call our Listener Hotline at 206-202-6473. (Tell us if it’s okay to play your comment.)

Show #49 Eric Ries, Lean Startup and product/market fit

December 28, 2009 By
The Startup Success Podcast

The Startup Success Podcast

This week Bob talks with Eric Ries about his Lean Startup concept and taking an entirely different approach to building your startup. Is 1 success and 9 failures the only way to build software startups? Eric doesn’t think so, and he convinced me. This is an approach to building your startup that I predict will get a lot of attention in 2010.

Patrick focuses on the new Microsoft Silverlight 4 beta and Bob’s staff chimes in during the main interview to wish you from all of us a Happy New Year!

This week Bob interviews Don Dodge, now part of Google and its Developer Evangelism Group. Until very recently Don was the very high-profile Director of Business Development for Microsoft’s Emerging Business Group.

“2010 is going to be an eye-opening year,” Don said in this wide ranging interview. This is one podcast you don’t want to miss.
